Back from hunting in Kyrgyzstan
WOW! What an adventure. After the 28 hour plane trip and 12 hour drive we finally reached base @10080ft. Base camp was warm and clean. After a much needed nights rest, we were up and checking zero on the rifles. After a bite to eat we loaded up our back and head out on horses to spike camp. The mountain views are breath taking. My butt stayed glued to the saddle while watching these horses walk on such steep slopes. After an 8hr horse ride and looking at several Ibex along the way we arrived at spike camp. Spike camp wasnç¨ a whole lot to write home about. A cave in the side of a mountain located at 11500 ft. The guides set up the tents and discussed the plans for in the morning. Lucky for us we had a hunter in camp who spoke English and Russian. The night was long for a couple of hunters who got sick either from the chicken from breakfast or HAS. One hunter stayed in camp trying to re-coop and the rest of us took off. About mid-morning our translator/ hunter said of the guides spotted a nice ibex bedded down on a knoll quite a ways off, anyone up for a hike. I volunteered, after an hour hiking we got within 200yds of ibex still bedded. I laid out prone and was about to take the shot when my guide way waving his hand franticly. There was a little confusion between the guide and me, the ibex was up and over the edge before I was able to get a shot. After getting back to the group it was relayed to me the guide was afraid I was going to shoot the rock in front of me and he wanted me to move over. The rock was not in my way but oèell it the first day. Later in the day the snow flurries started, off and on the rest of the day and visibility was down to about 200 yds max. We decided to head back to camp, hoping the weather to clear up by morning. We arrived back in camp and the hunter in camp wasn't feeling any better and couldn't keep any water of food down. The night was long and cold, even longer for the sick ones. It snowed all night, the sick hunter was still feeling bad the following morning so he decided to call it quits and head down to base camp in the driving snow. It snowed all day, finally clearing up around 5 pm. It was too late to hunt but the guides went out to try to locate some ibex for the morning hunt. Moring finally arrived and the weather was great. We headed off to where the guides had located the ibex the evening before. All three hunters were positioned on different locations on the mountain side. After an hour or so the ibex started heading our direction. The other two hunters collected there trophies that morning. I was not so fortunate. We continued hunting while the other hunters took their trophies back to camp. After seeing several other ibex and not being able to get close enough for a shot we headed back to camp. The following morning the other hunters packed up and headed back to base camp, one of the guides stayed with me and we headed out to a different hunting area. My camp for the next two nights was on a hill side sleeping under the stars. I saw several ibex but nothing I wanted shoot. Finally on the 5th day we spotted a shooter feeding on the hill side. We were able to get within about 300 yds for the shot. The shot was good and down he went. He was a great trophy 43é³x40. The shorter side had been broken off for quite some time. Unfortunately my camera battery had died so our photo session was short. We caped out the trophy and started the 11hr ride back to base camp. As we all have heard the hardest thing about this hunt is the language barrier. The guides were great they work their tail off to accommodate all of us. The food was good, a lot of soups and breads. This was a true hunt, no-frills. As long as you know this going in going in you won't be disappointed.

No, unfortunately not! Just took my picture with it. It's a CITIES animal so you would have to have all the same paperwork as if you we're hunting them. We also saw a lot ibex skulls all over the county side. i saw at least 30+. The wolf kills are really high. Only saw 2 that were fresh kills most were old.

Thanks for sharing. I went a few years ago and had a good time. Nice looking Ibex. How big were the ones taken by the other hunters? Did the sick hunter get better and go back up for his later? A true mountain adventure. Congrats on a well earned trophy. Bruce

Bruce, you was in another part of Kyrgyzstan. You was in North-East of Kyrgyzstan, nearly Kazakstan boarder.
Jay, was in South-East - Naryn Region. I think, that Jay has seen many Marco Polo sheeps there.
The other hunters have shot a little smaller.

JMU Women, William & Mary Men Hold Early Leads after First Day of CAA Swimming and Diving Championships
FAIRFAX, Va. (Feb. 27, 2013) - James Madison collected two individual victories and holds a 17-point lead over Towson after day one of the 2013 CAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship. On the men's side, William & Mary holds a small four-point advantage on 11-time defending champion UNCW after picking up a win in the 800 freestyle relay.
The Dukes kicked off the championship by setting a new meet record in the 200 yard medley relay. The team of Caroline Burns, Andrea Criscuolo, Sin Hye Won, and Susanne Gingher posted a time of 1:43.71 in the event to pick up 40 points and knocked off the previous record by a mere two tenths of a second. Senior diver Kimberly Helfrich netted JMU 20 points by picking up the win on the three-meter dive. Helfrich tallied 327 points while runner up Lyndsey Dickson of Towson collected 276.20 points.
In the women's 800 freestyle relay the Towson team of Caroline Hodgins, Kaitlin Burke, Charlotte Holz, and Melanie Rowland picked up the victory after posting a time of 7:14.76. The James Madison team of Kelsey Holmgaard, Anna Susko, Morgan Johnson, and Aimee Hooper took home second place honors with a time of 7:16.31.
Records fell in both men's events today as William & Mary's Kemp Pettyjohn, Taegan Clarke, Andrew Strait, and Hunter Perrot earned the Tribe 40 points after posting a 6:32.80 to take top honors in the men's 800 freestyle relay and set a new meet record. The team bested the previous record by over three seconds.
The Seahawk men made their presence felt as well by setting a new meet record in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:27.40. The team of Valtteri Halonen, CJ Faila, Stephen Conrad, and Joe Gallene knocked off the old record by over a second to earn UNCW 40 points.
The teams will return to the water tomorrow for day two of the championship. Scheduled events in the pool include the men's and women's 50, 200, and 500 freestyle events. On the boards will be the men's one-meter diving.

Updated Jan 11, 2013 - 9:41 pm
Why did Justin Upton veto a trade to the Seattle Mariners?
After three long offseasons of persisting trade rumors, the question has to be asked: Why would Upton veto a trade that would have finally sent him out of town?
1. Rain
On average, Seattle has more than 150 days of precipitation per year. The Emerald city also averages 35.9 inches of rain per year. Phoenix by comparison has less than a month of precipitation days per year and 7.8 inches of rain.
2. Safeco Field
Without question, Safeco Field is a beautiful place to take in a ball game. With that said, the 54,000-seat stadium is by no means a hitter's park. According to ESPN.com, since the stadium opened in 2000, the Mariners have scored the fewest runs and have the worst batting average of any American League team during that span.
In 2012, Safeco Field averaged just 1.43 home runs per game. By comparison, Chase Field had 2.15 fly out of the yard per game (58 more over the course of the season).
3. Home/road splits
During his five-year MLB career, Upton has taken full advantage of Chase Field's hitter-friendly dimensions.
Over the past three seasons, Upton has batted .253 with 26 home runs and 93 RBI away from Chase field. However at home, the former No. 1 overall pick is considerably better, batting .311 with 39 home runs and 131 RBI. His OPS is also .189 higher in games played in the Valley.
And there's this reason, provided by Arizona Sports 620's Paul Calvisi on Friday:
Would a player veto a trade to SEA because he's building a house? Sources tell me Justin Upton is in middle of building a dream house in PV— Paul Calvisi (@PaulCalvisi) January 12, 2013
Either way, Upton remains a D-back for now. Whether that's still true heading into spring training, well, that remains to be seen.

My Valentine Dress
When I received this dress, I was pleased. The colors were as soft and pretty as in the picture. I am 170-180 Lbs 5' 7" tall Bust 44" Under bust 38" (DD) and hips 44". I looked at the chart and I could have gone with the 0x, but I ordered the 1X. In hindsight, I should have ordered the 0x. The Flirty Flounce Wrap Dress really is soft and has a very feminine touch. It is a true wrap dress, meaning that it can be adjusted as tight or as loose as you like, which also allow you to determine how much cleavage coverage you prefer. The fabric is soft, lightweight and has great recovery. I found the dress to be very long. I did raise the hem 4.5" by removing the bodice from the skirt cutting off the 4.5 inches from the top of the skirt and adding the skirt back onto the bodice. It was perfect. I am taking this dress to the Dominican Republic for Valentine's dinner on the beach.
Reviewer: Lisa (Kingston, WA) 12/7/2013
Love This Dress!
I was worried about it being a little loud, but when I tried it on, it was perfect. My husband really liked it. I am pear shaped and it fits beautifully in the hips. I will have to put a snap at the neckline because I like a little more modesty. Overall, I am super pleased. I am wearing it with a slouchy boot with a 2 1/2 inch heel; it's really cute. It does run a little big because the 3x fits perfectly and I am probably more of 28/30.

School of Block held a fantasy forums mailbag last week and the quality of questions I answered was just outstanding. The volume was even more impressive, as I gladly spent my entire day answering…well…almost all of them.
The only question left unanswered was a request from Leafs2010. He asked me to list the Top-10 goalies for a one-year fantasy league using the common statistical categories. I realized automatically that a question of such magnitude and importance deserved more time and focus than the others, so I pondered it for the whole week. Lo and behold, my ranking of the 10 best goalies to own for this season, if you're playing in a one-year league that uses the common scoring categories.
Although I rarely spend time discussing statistics, there's no escaping it in a ranking such as this. So I keyed in on one stat in particular, one that I feel speaks volumes for a goalie's fantasy value. This figure is simply the ratio of games in whicha goalie posts a .900 save percentage or higher. Divided by their total number of games played, this percentage is a strong indication of how consistent the goalie performed last season and how effective they may have been in helping their team win games.
Please keep in mind that the mission this week is to provide you with the Top-10 goalies we feel are poised to be the most valuable to own in a one-year, head-to-head fantasy league. We cannot predict injuries, trades, or free agency signings, so this is as of and up to July 26, 2010. We feel it is important to own a goaltender that effectively stops the puck and also fills you with confidence. This list reflects those factors and includes the best goalies most suited to lead you to a fantasy league title.
1.Tuukka Rask –Not only do I think Rask is the most technically sound European goalie currently in the NHL, I was also quite impressed with his mental toughness down the stretch last year. He was very durable in a rookie season where his minutes were all back loadedin the pressure-filled second half. An astonishing 77% of his games resulted in a .900 save percentage or higher (34 total games), which was the highest in the NHL for all starting goalies. And don't forget he posted the league's best goals-against average (1.97) and save percentage (.931) as well.Combined with great outings in his first 10 playoff games, it was a brilliant start to his NHL career. He's projected to start 60-65 games this season, making him that much more valuable.
Why is he #1? He's the best combination of all three fantasy worlds – skill, situation and stats - and he's still getting better.
2. Ryan Miller – The 2010 Vezina Trophy winner continues to improve his ability to win behind strong mental toughness and leadership skills. He gained a ton of confidence after his run in the Olympics and clearly revealed just how good he can be when it matters most for his team. Miller is an inspired goalie, a well-oiled machine with the perfect combination of quickness and solid positioning. He rarely struggled in games last season, as he posted 41 wins in 69 outings and a .929 save percentage, which was second overall in the NHL. A whopping 76 percent of his games resulted in a .900 save percentage or higher (52 total) and he also notched five shutouts while averaging a workable 28.2 shots per game.
Why is he #2? No other goalie has improved more in the last three years. It's Miller Time more often every month.
3. Henrik Lundqvist – When you take into account his strenuous wide butterfly style, King Henrik is one of the most durable and steady goaltenders in the NHL. Those who see him mostconstantly rave about his big-save ability and he displayed tons of flair in a season plagued by frustrating one-goal losses. Owning Lundqvist brings managers so much confidence that they are rarely disappointed in a game that he loses. One reason I rank him higher than others is due to shot volume. He faced the third-most shots in the NHL last year at 2109, which was28.9 per game, but still posted a .921 save percentage (5th in NHL).
Why is he #3? Imagine his value if half of his one-goal losses from last season are converted into wins this season.
4. Martin Brodeur – Although I think the next two goalies below Brodeur play a more refined and effective style, you just can't argue against the wizard. Behind strong team defense and potent offense, especially if Ilya Kovalchuk stays put, expect more of the same from Brodeur this season. Yes he's a year older and a little more prone to aches and pains of a 75+ game schedule, but experience and genuine leadership counts more than skill. Just like Rask led the league in two key categories, Brodeur led the NHL in shutouts (9) and wins (45). But only 65% of his games (49 total) resulted in a .900 save percentage or better, giving him a .913 mark on the season, good enough for 13th overall.
Why is he #4? He's on a defensive team and the most reliable, experienced and mentally tough goalie in the NHL.
5. Ilya Bryzgalov – The razor sharp Russian is coming off a true breakout season and established a dominant presence in the Phoenix crease. Behind a strong Dave Tippett defensive system, Bryzgalov cruised to many low-scoring wins on a consistent basis and posted a .900 save percentage or better in 73% of his games (50 total). Even when he was asked to stop more than 30 shots, he was there almost every single night. That compatibility is crucial in determining his fantasy value this season, as many goalies will struggle with their rhythm when facing a low volume of shots (see Cristobal Huet). Not so for Bryzgalov, as he is able to adjust and thrive in pressure-filled situations. He should experience another season of succulent statistical success.
Why is he #5? High value comes with Tippett's territory, but he also has the elite technical skills to boot. All bases are covered.
6. Tomas Vokoun –With Miller stealing the show in the goalie department during the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vokoun (and Halak) was nipping at his heels the entire time. The silent assassin in the Southeast Division posted the NHL's third-best save percentage (.925) and was fifth overall in shots against (2081). That averaged out to be 33 shots per game, which is a great number to pull in every 2-3 days.So he not only faces a ton of rubber and wins games single-handedly, but he'll most likely be playing in front of a more competent team as well. I expect him to play even better in October compared to the last two seasons, as once again the elusive"strong start" is a self-proclaimed area of focus for him and his teammates.
Why is he #6? Has a very efficient shots-to-saves conversion rate and great mental toughness on a leaky defensive team.
7. Miikka Kiprusoff –Many fans might get frustrated with his nonchalant demeanor, but no matter how hard his pundits try, his fantasy value cannot be disproven. Despite Calgary's failure to make the post-season, Kiprusoff was a bright spot for most of the season. He posted a .900 save percentage or higher in an impressive 72% of his games (51 out of 72) and in only 10 games did he post something below a .850 save percentage. That's quite consistent for a team that missed the playoffs. With a .920 save percentage, 35 wins, four shutouts and a 2.31 goals against average, Kipper was very valuable across the fantasy board.
Why is he #7? His complacency could finally be eliminated thanks to Henrik Karlsson. Kipper should be on fire again this year.
8. Roberto Luongo –Although last season was filled with frustrating nights fighting off the puck and traffic in front of his net, Luongo persevered and still found a way to win at least 40 games. He had to hack his way through a lack of rhythm and the pressure of the Olympics, so it wasn't always pretty to watch. Without the Olympics clouding his mind and Roli Melanson acting as his new full-time goalie coach, Luongo should have no problem shaving .25 off his goals-against average and improving on his .913 save percentage. He battled hard mentally and posted a .900 save percentage or higher in 65% of his games (43 total).
Why is he #8? The giant is under a lot less stress this season and will thrive in a more competitive tandem with Schneider.
9. Jaroslav Halak – Many of you will see Halak on this list and once discovering Jimmy Howard is not in the Top-10, instantly wonder why. But when you look at the likelihood of either goalie being more consistent or enduring more off-rhythm stretches, it's hard to go someone who is so cool and composed under pressure. The Olympics, combined with what he had to go through in Montreal,proves Halak has been to hell and back. Solid steel is strengthened when forged in fire, so managers shouldfeel quite confident in his ability to play at least 60 games and still post similar (or better) stats as last season.
Why is he #9? Posted a .900 save percentage or higher in 29 of 45 games and flat out stole at least eight wins last year.
10. Pekka Rinne – Although he's clearly an elite Finnish talent with great size, the question as to how he handles workhorse minutes will linger like stale firework smoke in the Nashville air. But Rinne's potential is untapped. He was quietly very good in the playoffs against Chicago and similar to Rask in Boston, displayed mental toughness down the stretch to keep the Predators in the playoff hunt. He only posted a .900 save percentage or higher in 58% of his games, or 33 of 58. That's well below the league average (around 65%), but 32 wins and a .911 save percentage overall can't be overlooked heading into your draft.
Why is he #10? He still has untapped potential and a very solid combination of size, durability, skill and mental toughness.
The Next Five…
Here are the next five goalies to own, butI listed them below in alphabetical order. What do YOU think the ranking should be??
Craig Anderson – It will be extremely hard to match the same break-out run he put on display last season, but he's still valuable in the workload, saves and save percentage categories. He is not a very polished goalie, but has great size and desire and plays the blocking style extremely well. He displayed awesome durability last season, but is expected to have a smaller workload this season. But with Brett Clark no longer blocking shots, he'll probably face more shots per game than last year.
Marc-Andre Fleury – Although he backstops one of the most potent offenses in the league, he was very inconsistent last year. Other than logging 37 wins, the stats do not warrant Top-10 status. He only posted a .900 save percentage or better in Relies too much on skill, lacks mental toughness and is prone to inconsistency on an offensive-minded team.
Jimmy Howard –The sophomore jinx is more probably with Howard compared to Halak or Rask. As mentally tough as he is, his technique has a lot of refining to undergo and therefore doesn't have the same untapped. Nevertheless, he still posted a .900 save percentage or better in a stunning 76% of his games, which tied Ryan Miller for second in the NHL.
Carey Price –Just like Halak is a legitimate young talent ready to play more NHL games than ever before, Price (still an RFA) is also quite capable of being a Top-10 one-year goalie as well. When you peel back the layers of all his frustrating losses, his record of 13-20-5 doesn't explain how 63% of his games resulted in a .900 save percentage or higher (26 of 41 games).
Cam Ward–Never underestimate an elite talent with great size, plenty of experience and a Stanley Cup ring. It would help if he played in front of a better team, but if he stays healthy and continues to improve, it could easily be a Top-10 season for him. Despite his injury, he posted a .900 save percentage or higher in 65% of his games (30 of 47) and rarely had a weak outing.

I don't believe Niemi or Nitty belong on this list...they are in a good position and would make great #2 tenders, but at this point in time they don't belong in the top 15. Both could lose starts to backups.
Loungo has also not posted the stellar stats serving of a #1 or #2 selection. Big fat contract has not paid off. He posted quite a few duds last season and still hasn't proven he can win the big games.
duducks said:
After seeing Rask @ #1 I knew there'd be heat in the comments. My issue is more that it'd be poor draft strategy to take Rask as the first goalie in the draft, than it is a disagreement with you rating him as the best fantasy goalie.
I wouldn't give Rask consideration as being the first drafted goalie in a keeper league, let alone a one year. The chance of Rask having a poor season is greater than any other goalie in this top 10. Reasons for an off-season have been beaten already. Maybe the chance of having a great season is higher, but the top 5 goalies picked should be sure thing picks.
More of a surprise to me was Luongo way down at #8. Is my view of him as a top teir elite goalie way off? It wasn't too long ago he was a consensus top 5 pick (after big 3). Has he fallen this far down that he shouldn't even be picked in the top 2 rounds (10 team draft)??
I'd really love to hear more about Lu. I was pursuing a trade for him, but he'd probably be the most expensive goalie in my league to acquire, so I'd love to be convinced to take a cheaper option. I'm in a H2H Wins/GAA/SV% league.
fzusher said:
Now, I don't believe the sophomore slump, for any player, is some kind of jinx or mystery. I think it's something explainable, and a combination of two factors.
One is that as a rookie, you fly under the radar. Teams don't prepare specifically for you. Opposing players take you for granted a little bit. But if you've had a strong rookie showing, next season opposing teams' scouts and coaches will work on how to solve you, and opposing players will be on their toes and at their sharpest playing against you.
The other is that oftentimes, without the burden of the highest expectations and the shorter leash that comes with them, rookies can just approach their games with a 'lets just enjoy the ride' attitude, which serves as a very strong psychological shield against pressures and obstacles. In your sophomore year you usually have much higher expectations (so the probability of facing adversity is heightened), and can't use that shield to protect yourself against their weight anymore (you have to face adversity eye to eye).
So my question is, what about Rask's game/mentality/situation should make us expect he can overcome both factors, or that these are non-factors in his case?

Vincent said:
Considering it is, my top 10 is:
1) Luongo (the safest bet)
2) Lundqvist (improved team, similar stats)
3) Miller (under Lundqvist because of change in defense)
4) Bryzgalov
5) Fleury (improved defense)
6) Brodeur
7) Kiprusoff
8-13) Anderson, Howard, Halak, Rinne, Rask, Price
If saves count, Rask is #12 because a 15-20% chance of playing only 50 games sucks!
And, Oilersrock99, I wait a little bit in the draft to pick a goalie that might play only 30-40 games, even if he starts the season in the net for one of the three best teams.
Big Ev said:
If he put "Sharks goalie", "Philly goalie" and "Caps goalie" on his ranking, then it would look very amateur, like yours.
angus said:
Sharks goalie... is not a specific goalie. This is a list of the top 10 GOALIES. Not top 10 teams.
Oilers rock 99 said:
so howard must be top 10
And correct me if I'm wrong last years 3 top teams you have ZERO goalies???
sharks, Hawks, caps, ???
Just wondering Justin when was the last time you won a hockey pool
MY list....
1. Miller
2. Brodeur
3. Caps goalie (Varly)
4. Nemmi
5. Fleury (have we forgot him?? or did sid go to the KHL)
6. Luongo
7. sharks Goalie
8. Howard
9. Philly goalie (possible the best defence in the NHL)
10.Ilya Bryzgalov ( really you could put about 3 guys here)
sorry justin you are way out on this one
angus said:
1. Luongo - entering prime, on team poised to win a lot over next 3-4 years.
2. Lundqvist - needs goal support
3. Miller - elite
4. Vokoun - once he is on a better team (when not if), you will see why. Golden second half goalie.
5. Kiprusoff
6. Brodeur
7. Rask
8. Halak
9. Rinne

mike hess said:
So how would you compare Price, S.Mason, Nittymaki, Elliot, Hiller, Backstrom, Vokuon and Quick; a second tier using a similiar statistical approach?
Justin Goldman said:
That's not an out of line comment at all I think it's fair to say that Thomas is still a great goalie, especially mentally. But I don't think Boston will have the luxury or reason to give him more than 20-25 games. Thomas is one year older and like a lot of goalies at that age, he is better when he's playing consistently.
Last year proved this perfectly, as slowly but surely he was too inconsistent, mainly because Rask was winning games and playing well enough to warrant more starts. Therefore their roles were basically flipped by the halfway point. With Rask heading into the season as the starter, Thomas just wont get enough games in to really play at his best. I'm not saying he's any less skilled of a goalie, I'm just saying that it's tough going from a starter to a backup and not getting the minutes. A perfect example of this was Chris Osgood last year behind Howard. Osgood was no less skilled, but he never got into a rhythm because Howard played so well.
I agree with you that Thomas will be the toughest to supress (Lalime, Biron, etc), but at the same time, Rask is plenty consistent enough to keep Thomas from getting 4-5 game streaks in a row. I know it's a cop-out to revert back to the 77% of games with .900 save percentage or above, but it was the best in the NHL and he has the skill to back up that consistency.
If you feel that Boston will be forced to play Thomas due to his salary and the fact Rask is still very young, then it's fair to not consider Rask as the #1. Nothing wrong with your reasoning at all! But that's why I feel Thomas won't play many games ... not because he won't get the opportunities, but because he won't obtain the rhythm needed to keep Rask on the bench =).
Hopefully that makes sense!

Oshawott brings no surprises as the fifth useless Water-type starter Pokemon. Almost completely outclassed by every other Water-type out there, this otter finds stiff competition for anyone's team slot. It does, however, have a nice niche, which is the ability to run a mixed or a Swords Dance set with X-Scissor to defeat Lileep and Slowpoke. Oshawott's popular competition face problems this otter can overcome; Staryu is generally better, but it can't run a physical set. Totodile faces a similar problem, as it can't run a special set, although its Swords Dance capabilities trump Oshawott's. Piplup can't learn Aqua Jet, and Chinchou has horrible Attack. Oshawott does, however, have too many flaws, including mediocre stats and a less-than-average movepool, to become a strong force. All-in-all, Oshawott isn't that great, but it is certainly viable with proper support.
Oshawott can really only run a Swords Dance set without being outclassed by something else. Priority in Aqua Jet is very useful, as Little Cup contains a variety of fast, frail Pokemon such as Houndour and Taillow. Aqua Jet will OHKO Houndour pre-boost and OHKO Taillow post-boost, meaning powerful threats in Little Cup will have a hard time OHKOing Oshawott before it can hit them. Waterfall is Oshawott's main STAB move and will OHKO most threats it hits neutrally, such as Choice Scarf Mienfoo. A combination of Waterfall and Aqua Jet after a Swords Dance will even OHKO Eviolite Mienfoo. Since Oshawott will attract Slowpoke and Lileep with its Water-type moves, it gets time to set up on the switch. It can then proceed to strike either of them with X-Scissor and wreak havoc. If your team has a way to defeat the aforementioned walls, such as the combination of Wynaut and Diglett, Hidden Power Fire is recommended over X-Scissor to hit Ferroseed and Snover harder.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Using a specially oriented set isn't recommended, as Chinchou, Staryu, and even Piplup outclass it. After all, Oshawott only gets Grass Knot and Air Slash to differentiate it from other Water-types, and other moves are usually stronger anyway. Night Slash can be used for Slowpoke and Frillish, but Totodile plays that role much better. Revenge is an option for Ferroseed, but this fighting move is outclassed by Hidden Power Fire. Lastly, a combination of Substitute and Torrent can be used to raise the power of Oshawott's special attacks, but the high amount of weather and priority in Little Cup make this suboptimal.
Checks and Counters
Counters include Slowpoke, Lileep, Chinchou, Snover, Ferroseed, Croagunk, Eviolite Staryu with Thunderbolt, Wooper, and Frillish. Cottonee and Eviolite Magnemite are decent checks, as they can take a hit and OHKO Oshawott with a STAB move. Lastly, Poliwag can switch in on a Water-type move with Water Absorb, Encore it, and set up Belly Drum.
Both Torrent and Shell Armor are subpar, but Torrent is more useful because Oshawott doesn't want to be taking that many hits in the first place, and critical hits only have a 1/16 chance of occurring.

All Stuffed Up from Pollen Allergies
The pollen's out and once again you're congested and bleary-headed. Do you get a few allergy symptoms or the whole enchilada?
Allergies cause fluid to build up in the sinuses, putting pressure on the nerves in the area. This can lead to a headache directly above the eyes. The pain is different for each person, and can come on suddenly or gradually.
Fluid in the sinuses puts pressure on the brain, sometimes resulting in fatigue, says Dr. Paul Ehrlich, a pediatric allergist based in New York. Other reasons for daytime fatigue? A lack of nighttime sleep, caused either by your congested nose which makes it difficult to breathe or a decongestant medication containing pseudoephedrine, which is a stimulant and can keep you awake. Some antihistamines have a sedative effect and can make you feel tired during the day. Finally, hay fever sufferers can become overtired from constantly fighting the body-wide reaction.
Usually caused by that lack of sleep, irritability is an under-recognized but very real
symptom of hay fever, says Vancouver allergist Dr. Donald Stark. Another cause: times of high stress often coincide with the different allergy seasons – and the convergence of the two would make anyone grouchy. For example, students' final exams in June are at the height of grass pollen season, and back to school in September coincides with the start of ragweed season.

Biggest NBA stories of 2011
Story Highlights
NBA owners locked out players for 149 days as the two sides haggled over a CBA
Movement of stars -- Chris Paul, Carmelo, Deron Williams -- shook the league
The Mavs won in style, overtaking Miami's Big Three for their first championship
1. The NBA lockout goes on and on ... In July, as forecast, NBA owners locked out the players, and for two months the two sides barely negotiated at all. Once talks resumed on a new collective bargaining agreement, they were able to progress toward a deal while also giving the impression that irreconcilable differences were keeping them apart. The problem? The owners had trouble agreeing among themselves on the terms of a new deal, and the same was true of the players -- which in turn gave each side very little room from which to compromise.
In the end, they shook hands on a CBA that saved all but 16 games of the 2011-12 season and enabled a Christmas Day start, albeit with a compacted schedule and truncated training camp that left teams with little time to assemble rosters and prepare for the regular season. Would the players and owners put their adversarial past behind them and proceed as partners? Would the 2012 postseason convince fans to forget all about the mess of the 2011 offseason and preseason? This was yet to be determined.
2. The Mavericks win their first championship. They weren't supposed to win. The defending champion Lakers, the newly collected Heat and the elderly Spurs and Celtics were given a better chance than the Mavs, who had advanced to the second round once since losing in the 2006 Finals. Indeed, Dallas was predicted to be upset in the opening round of 2011 by the Trail Blazers, who recovered from a 23-point deficit in the second half to even their series at 2-2. Thereafter, the Mavs went 14-3 while sweeping the Lakers and surviving Miami, which was on the verge of seizing a 2-0 lead in the Finals before succumbing to a comeback launched by Dirk Nowitzki. It was an outcome celebrated by most of the country, as the stars who had celebrated prematurely 11 months earlier were beaten by the team that wasn't supposed to have a chance.
3. Miami's Big Three reaches the Finals. LeBron James invited casual fans to turn against him, and the booing followed him and his new teammates everywhere they went. You may not have liked them, but you had to respect Miami's insistence on improving throughout the season. James looked like the league's best player in postseason victories against Boston and Chicago, as he joined with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and a surprisingly effective rotation that defended at an elite level. And then it all went bad again: They lost four of their last five and blew second-half leads as James turned passive and he and Wade made fun of Nowitzki's having the flu. The only question left is this: Will that season define Miami, or will the Heat use it to launch a run of championships?
4. Chris Paul is traded ... no, he isn't ... yes, he is. The MVP-caliber point guard informed the Hornets he would not sign a contract beyond 2012, when he planned to opt out as a free agent. So the Hornets conceived a three-team trade in December that sent Paul to the Lakers (launching a younger Lakers era while reducing their luxury-tax payments) and Pau Gasol to the Rockets while leaving New Orleans with Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic. The deal appeared to be done until it was vetoed by commissioner David Stern in his role as de facto owner of the Hornets, who had been purchased by the NBA when owner George Shinn couldn't find a buyer. That trade would have raised the Hornets' contract obligations, but Stern needed to lower them to sell the team to a local owner who would keep the Hornets in New Orleans.
Six days later, a new deal sent Paul to the Clippers in exchange for emerging star Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, second-year forward Al-Farouq Aminu and the unprotected 2012 first-round pick of the Timberwolves. Stern appeared willing to accept the criticism for his veto to create a more promising future for the Hornets, but the controversy inflamed all of the divisions of the lockout.
5. Carmelo Anthony traded to the Knicks; Deron Williams traded to the Nets. The Knicks and Nets were competing for the right to trade for Anthony, who preferred New York to New Jersey but didn't dare wait for free agency in 2011 -- he wanted to sign a new contract before the lockout could change the financial rules. In February, he was dealt to the Knicks, appearing to leave the Nets empty -- until they suddenly agreed to a deal for Williams. The Knicks continued to build a potential contender by adding free-agent center Tyson Chandler to their front line alongside Amar'e Stoudemire, while the Nets -- in preparation for their 2012 move to Brooklyn -- sought a trade for Dwight Howard. But those hopes were threatened when it was announced in late December that Nets center Brook Lopez would undergo surgery for a stress fracture in his right foot, leaving him little time to rehab and be traded to Orlando before the deadline of March 15, 2012.
6. Derrick Rose becomes youngest MVP. The last Bull to be league MVP was Michael Jordan, who was idolized by Rose as he grew up in Chicago. In 2011, the Bulls were recycled as contenders by the explosive Rose, who at age 22 -- in his third NBA season -- led them to the No. 1 seed in the East while improving his jump shot to average 25 points in conjunction with a career-best 7.7 assists. Rose joined new coach Tom Thibodeau to lift the Bulls back into contention, with the promise of many more winning years to come.
7. Phil Jackson departs. The best coach of the modern era returned to the Lakers in hopes of scoring a fourth three-peat and securing a sixth championship for Kobe Bryant. But the accumulated fatigue of three straight NBA Finals and the absence of explosive athleticism prevented the Lakers from fulfilling Jackson's vision. After they were swept in the second round by the champion-to-be Mavs, the 65-year-old Jackson said goodbye to the Lakers with a record 11 NBA championships as a coach in hand -- but he wouldn't announce his retirement, holding open the possibility of a return with another franchise.
8. The Grizzlies break through. Memphis had never won a playoff game before entering its series against the top-seeded Spurs. Though injuries to Manu Ginobili weakened San Antonio, the Grizzlies' 4-2 series win was shocking nonetheless, especially since they, too, were shorthanded without star small forward Rudy Gay, who had been sidelined since February by a shoulder injury. Their front line of Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol and Darrell Arthur combined with the backcourt leadership of point guard Mike Conley to challenge Oklahoma City in the second round before the Thunder prevailed in seven games. The returns of Gay from injury and Gasol as a free agent suggested more playoff success to come for Memphis.
9. Shaq and Yao retire. The Big Man era that had defined the NBA since the George Mikan 1940s appeared to come to an end with the departures of 39-year-old Shaquille O'Neal, who was the greatest center of his time, and Yao Ming, who might have challenged O'Neal if not for the recurring injuries that forced his retirement at 30. Center had been the strongest NBA position -- with the exception of Michael Jordan's Bulls, most championship teams possessed a dominant big man -- but in the absence of Shaq and Yao, the only center who appeared capable of winning MVP was Dwight Howard.
10. Dwight Howard's uncertain future. Like Shaq, who left Orlando as a free agent in 1996, Howard appeared to want to leave the Magic. Persistent reports were leaked of his interest in moving to the Nets, the Lakers or the Mavericks, leaving the Magic in limbo: wanting to hold on to Howard for as long as possible, and not wanting him to leave as a free agent without compensation in 2012. As they approached the end of the year, the Magic were faced with a variety of unhappy options.

Has George Zimmerman damaged his credibility?Thursday, June 7th, 2012
The tide of events and public perceptions sort of had been going George Zimmerman's way.
Then came the little matter of $135,000-plus that he didn't tell the court about.
Photos and physical evidence had shown that Mr. Zimmerman came out of his encounter with Trayvon Martin with more injuries that originally though. That had tempered the original impression that Mr. Zimmerman had been uninjured and therefore could not reasonably have felt threatened when he fatally shot the unarmed teen.
There also was the autopsy report showing that Mr. Martin had marijuana in his system, a finding that – at least for some people – undermined Mr. Martin's image as a squeaky-clean kid.
Mr. Zimmerman even gave an apology of sorts to Trayvon's parents when he successfully was granted bail of $150,000. He had to pay $15,000 to win release, which is typical in bond cases.
Now, however, Mr. Zimmerman is back in custody. Seems that when he furnished the court with information about his finances, he neglected to report $135,000 raised through a Web site collecting money for his defense.
If the judge had known about the money, it would have meant a higher bail.
One of the prosecutors said: "This court was led to believe they didn't have a single penny. It was misleading and I don't know what words to use other than it was a blatant lie."
Defense lawyers say it's all a misunderstanding and "there was no deceit" because Mr. Zimmerman and his wife never used any of the money.
Judges hate to be lied to. That's why he's back in jail.
It's not clear how much it matters to the public. What do you think? Has George Zimmerman damaged his credibility? Leave a comment or click on the link below to take our poll.

So guys, at my school we have a senior, Hannah Wagernackle, and she has Down's syndrome. Despite that, she is very popular, and on our cheerleading team. A few weeks ago, she asked James Maslow, from Big Time Rush, to prom through a video. The video has over 20,000 hits, and on Friday morning, he sent a response. Sadly, he could not make it to our prom because he would be shooting for Dancing with the Stars. Instead, he flew her and her mom and sister out to LA for an extended weekend with him. He took them to Disneyland, and she is coming with him to shoot DWTS on Monday and they are going to have their own special prom dance. I cannot believe this happened to one of us. Please share this story, Hannah's story, to show that not all celebrities are douches to their fans.

Fun is good😂👍🙈🎡🎢 #getaway #starcity #rideallyoucan #screamin' #hadfun #lateupload (at Star City)
